14.58l/100 in the truck on the last tank - not bad, I guess. Not great. Or just over 16 mpg US or just over 19 Imperial mpgs for anyone as old as AB...no wait...he's full on metric guy. Hey AB! I started with l/100!!

About time , were you even born when Canada switch to metic?

Do people still buy gas by the imperial gallon in Canada? Totally irrelevant unit.

How do you measure miles?

BTW, my last tank in the Cayenne S was 14.8 l/100km

I adapt to miles in the US, and buy gas there by the US gallon, so I go by miles per US gallon. In Canada, we buy gas by the litre and use metres and kilometres for distance.

^^^ That's pretty good for that SUV!

Other than my height and weight I am clueless about non-metric anything. All these friggin cups and teaspoons and crap, omg, I've converted my most used recipes to milliliters. Then I can scale them easily as I often cook for varying group sizes.

We occasionally come across US climbers and they are talking in feet and miles and everyone just stares blankly. "What's the elevation of the ridge?" 2500 meters. "What's that in feet?" No clue, don't care.

You can tell Americans that have traveled a lot. They're usually fully metric. Same for ex military.

Week-end to/return to Strasbourg. Not too bad considering the use of air con (summer arrived lol) and the usual full boot of stuff on the way home, plus a lot of urban driving.

Today, it got so hot during midday that I just shut off the Start&Stop system (it shuts off above 35° anyway) cuz the cabin would heat up so quickly that the motor would restart to keep the cabine cool.

Filled up on Sunday. I reset my main trip counter as is my habit and was greeted with the following totally improbable total distance projection. It was actually even bigger (930) just after filling but was down to what you see in the photo in just a few minutes.

It’s nice to know that even car trip computers can dream big.

^^^ That's pretty good. I'm starting to see 13-14L/100kms on highway stints, now, which is about what the Tundra should be getting.

Yup, I expect to see 9s when the engine breaks in.....we will see in a couple thousand kms.

Driven 458 km yesterday, mostly highway. It was raining outgoing but dry on my way back home

10.8kWh / 56.7km => 19kWh /100km + once battery depleted, 23.38L / 401.5km => 5.83L/100k

That’s amazing. TFL Truck did a towing comparison between the 2.7L EcoBoost and 5.0 V8 and found the V8 got better MPGs, 9.8 vs. 8.7 towing a 7,000 lb trailer. Did you get the 2.7 or 3.5?

For day to day driving though, the EcoBoost seems to win.

johngenx · « **Reply #3432 on:** June 03, 2019, 08:18:04 pm »

Under heavy loads, the turbo engine sucks gas like any V-8. I know a few EcoBoost owners that tow a lot and they haven't realized much over a V-8 in overall economy.

Just finished a typical mixed urban driving week with a 2019 Charger SXT awd (awd = V6). Impressed by the 11.2 result, so much better than anything SUV with a similar mill.

I have the 3.5...and yup, under load the Ecoboost is a wash - I saw that review and they also said the V8 ‘felt the load’ vs the 2.7L felt like the 7k lbs were like peanuts.

This truck is a performance machine on a straight line, I am shocked at how fast you can get to 100 given its sheer size and weight.

Last tank on the Sonata. 561 km, with 125 of that on the highway, 9.2L/100 km.

2013 Tesla Model S 85 at 130,000 km.
Lifetime 22 kWh / 100 km at electricity price of 13c / kWh (all fees included) = $2.86 / 100 km
= equivalent 2.4 L / 100 km.

2018 Smart ED at 15000 km
Lifetime 17 kWh / 100 km at electricity price of 13c / kWh (all fees included) = $2.21 / 100 km
= equivalent 1.9 L / 100 km.

Notes : Previous Smart ED over 40000 km was similar efficiency.
Am a lead foot. No "ECO" driving.

F150. 105-110 kmh. One hell of a tailwind...what do you call that? A qualifier?
I should've kept driving south, wonder how far I could've gotten.

They let me in, but they don't love me enough to take out the rubber gloves and check me for "colon cancer". So...good thing I guess? Unless they find that kind of thing fun...
